What if someone starts controlling what you see and what you don’t on your Instagram timeline? Not something you would like right? Well, that’s exactly what is going to happen with your Instagram account after a new algorithm update. Instead of the chronological order, your Instagram will show you posts that are relevant to you as per their mapping of your behaviour. This means you won’t have any control over what appears first on your timeline. Here’s the gist of how it will affect the Instagram more:
No more instant updates of pictures posted by friends’
Just give me my friends’ Pictures!
Instagram (read Facebook) has decided to take the responsibility of showing the best photos on Instagram, which means pictures with the most number of likes and engagement will appear on the top of your timeline. But then what about your friends’ pictures? Well, you might have to go to their profile to check it!
No more creativity!
Where did all the fun go?
Many of us are on Instagram following various accounts that provide nothing but amazing pictures from around the world, but as Instagram (read Facebook) starts monetizing, big brands will appear first on your timeline and then the creative ones , only if they have enough likes.
No space for small brands
No Money, No Business!
After looking at the popularity scope on Instagram, many people started their small businesses out there with an aim of reaching out to the youth in an affordable and effective manner. Many even achieved a good scope. But with this new algorithm, they will suffer quite a bit, if they don’t have the money to get into the monetized world.
